Overview - Coda, Led Zeppelin’s final studio record, is a collection of previously recorded tracks sometime in Zeppelin’s career that were never released on an album. Unfortunately I have to say right now, it isn’t too difficult to see why some of these songs never made it to the …

Clumsy by fergie on her album the dutchess came out in two thousand and six. This song is about how a girl falls in love and is clumsy about it. I like the sound effects they use in this song. This song is a good song for any …

It is no surprise that I Am… Sasha Fierce by Beyonce is an awesome album once more by one of the most talented female singers of all time. I can cry when I listen to the track If I Were A Boy. This song has so many significance …

It is hard to believe that this album was recorded back in 2000. It feels like I bought it only recently, even though, chronologically, it must have been sometime in 2002. Well, I remember how I was making a superficial assessment of this album at the time. At first …

I have been a fan of Anberlin since they formed many years ago, and I have been looking forward to their third album since they announced it would be released.
Cities is Anberlin’s third, and by far their most mature, album. For those that have followed them from their …

I think that this album is really good. I would not say that the whole album is perfect, because it has some minor weird components, from my point of view, but the majority of stuff on this record is really good, and it sounds truly convincing. I think that …

Live in Hollywood was made in RBD’s first L.A. (U.S.A) concert in January 2006 (Jan. 21st) in Los Angeles’s famous Pantages Theater. This cd is very cool and fun, because rbd is one of the best musical group that I already have seen. Their musics are impressive because there …

Lady Gaga’s song, Monster is a single of her new album, The Fame Monster. I love this song so much. I think I literally listen to it at least six times a day. It’s a song about a Monster, or a guy who she knows is a bad boy …

This is, without any question, without any shadow of a doubt, my favorite U2 album. I know, U2 has released many good albums, but to me personally this one is the best. And I am ready to defend this album. For, you see, there might actually be a need …

Restless Heart Syndrome is a song by Green Day which appears on their most recent release, 21st Century Breakdown. The song starts off with the piano yet again and features a subtle string section as well which certainly adds a very somber mood to the track. Armstrong comes in …

The obscure titled “I Was A Teenage Hand Model” closes out Queens of the Stone Age’s debut self titled album at track 11. What makes this album so weird is that it was released on Roadrunner records which I am most familiar with them releasing Soulfly albums, which are …

I was a big fan of Power Rangers as a kid, many people in my age group were back in the day. I kind of fell out of it after awhile, it was the alien rangers that kind of pushed me away from the series. Lately though, …

Suffer is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the sixth track on their debut record, Gish. Opening up with a simple drum rhythm, the remaining instrumentation soon joins in the mix as well as Corgan’s vocals. For some reason, I’m slightly reminded of The End, a song …

An excellent choice for any beginner banjo player . The low profile neck satin finish and rock maple rim make this banjo a keeper . I began on a cheap Asian banjo , that offered a very hollow sound similar to playing in a a cave , for …

Heart Of Stone is a track by The Rolling Stones which appears on the album Out Of Our Heads. Right from the opening introduction of this track the rhythm is pretty much set up and you can tell right away that this track is going to be some type …

When I first started playing the drums about one year ago, I acquired a pair of Pro-Mark Millennium II sticks. These are size 5A, which is perfect for my playing style (drum kit - mostly alternative, rock and contemporary Christian music). Tagged “The Natural,” this pair of sticks is …

I have a cousin who’s crazy and madly deeply in love with High School Musical. He would buy everything and anything he can get his hands on that have High School Musical in it. One time he got himself a copy of K-zone magazine that’s featuring HSM at that …

Something a little different to some of their newer releases. Patience. A slower track, clear but very easy to listen to.
It’s not so directly about love this time. I think it’s probably about a relationship break down that has the potential to be reignited.
The reason why I like this …

Wildest Dreams is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Dance Of Death. Wildest Dreams starts off with a pretty powerful guitar rhythm which has a pretty driving feel, it doesn’t seem to be all that aggressive but it certainly lends itself nicely to Bruce Dickinson …

Ain’t Too Proud To Beg is a cover which is performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album It’s Only Rock —˜N Roll. I’m not familiar with The Temptations’ original version of this song but we’ll see how The Stones’ version of this track goes. The track …

Feel that fire by Dierks Bentley is a song that is beautiful in a lot of ways because it talks about how this guy knows that his girl needs to feel that fire. This song mainly talks about this one girl and what she wants but in my opinion …

When Taylor Swift’s newest single, “Love Story,” hit the radio waves in 2008, I was in Georgia, driving around lost. An impromptu road trip with a friend from the battle scars of a recent heartbreak. Being an English major in college and being naturally critical of Shakespeare’s …

Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …

Hot Fuss by The Killers has been a regular feature on my stereo for over two years now and it still sounds as fresh and innovative as the first time I heard it. Starting with the track ‘Jenny was a Friend of Mine’ the album delivers something that most …

Effervescing Elephant is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his second solo record, Barrett. The track starts off with just about twenty seconds of just faint background noise with not much going on. The thing I want to stress about Effervescing Elephant is that it’s a very …

Released in 2000 by Ki/oon Records, L’Arc~en~Ciel - REAL is an excellent introduction into the new millennium. Laruku (as they’re affectionately called by their Japanese fans) blends aspects of both pop and rock music, creating a unique style which has made them famous in their homeland of Japan, as …

Rudimentary Peni released “Farce” the same year as their debut self titled EP. I really enjoyed their first release, however with this one I am not so impressed. With that being said, every RP record is excellent and above par for punk, and this one is no exception. I …

God Bless America is a song that reminds me of many things. It has been performed by many different artist over the years. It reminds me that we should be faithful to our God first, our family second and then our country. It is a patriotic song that is …

Salty Dog is a song by Flogging Molly which appears on their album Swagger. The track starts off fairly quietly with just an acoustic guitar strumming a chord progression and then a fiddle playing a lead over it before the rest of the band comes in to double this …

Britney’s comeback is truly what ‘Circus’ is all about. The song tells about her being a showbiz entertainer. She knows her place. She knows what she wants on stage and off cam. Well, I hope she’s better be good now after a lot of hard beats the people had …

We Like The Party is a song by Vengaboys that has a very fun sound to it and is really just a song that really does make you want to get up and move. For those of you who typically read my reviews you’ll see that I mainly review …

As a lover of contemporary Christian music, I sometimes have trouble deciding which CDs to choose. There’s Christian pop and even Christian rap these days, but when I buy a CD I usually end up liking half the songs by the artist in question and not the other half. …

I saw a performance from Titanic: A New Musical on TV and was hooked. It might have been on Rosie O’Donnell’s old talk show, but whatever it was, I thought the performance was solid. Plus, as a student of the Titantic, I had to get this CD …

Of Mice & Men dropped this album on February of 2014, I took it to heart to listen each of this songs and review it, listen to it. Really listen to it; and I enjoyed it, how could I not to? This is a band that has a unique …

Artist: Mase ft. Total
Video: “What You Want”
Album: Harlem World
Director: Joseph Kahn
The music video for “What You Want” begins with Mase juggling phone calls from his roster of girlfriends whom all don’t know about each other, sort of taking a page from the film “Def Jam’s How to Be A …

I’ve honestly never listened to any of Jessica Simpson’s songs. But, I have seen her in movies. And, after some time, she has actually started winning me over a bit.
Some will criticize her as being a stereotypical dumb blonde. If that were the case, then how is it she’s …

Jamie Foxx did a great job imitating Ray Charles in “Gold Digger”. Kanye came up with some very creative rhymes and the beat was awesome.
The song was very well writting, warning men against gold diggers - women who leech off men for money.
He told the tale of a man …

What a person will do for a review. Actually, I watched this show throughout its entirety and then when the last scene of the last show hit, I was so disgusted that I have never watched another rerun of it ever and I taped over the shows I …

Tri-Polar is the third album by the australian pwer-trio Sick Puppies.
As always one of the things that stays up on this album are the bass lines, some not for it’s level or difficulty, but for it’s creativity and the way it fits the song, i guess that the best …

Secret Window is a film based on a novel written by Stephen King and starring Johnny Depp. My girlfriend is a huge fan of Depp so I typically watch his movies with her occasionally but I have to admit that he’s never disappointed me in a role and it …

Director: Sanaa Hamri

Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000″
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Martin Weisz
I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …

Brie Larson’s song life after you is a song I like to listen to and I like to tell my friends to listen to it after their boy friends break up with them just because it says there can be life after you break up and you should not …

I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …

Of all the bands to come out of the garage-rock revival of the early 2000s, The Strokes were probably the best — at least in their initial effort. Regarded as the then-newest saviors of rock and roll, The Strokes fashioned distinctly post-modern rock and roll. The dueling guitars, a …

I have been a huge fan of the more experimental indie rock sound that started to become popular in the late nineties for just as long as it has been around, as it is just one of those sub genres that never ceases to provide me with surprises and …

I have never really been a huge fan of Beyonce’s. But I am at least glad that she is breaking from some of that choppy singing that she does. In this song, she muses over the possibility of what it would be like if she were the …

Also Frightened is a song by Animal Collective and is the third song to appear on their album Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening up with a brief instrumental section, a chorus of voices soon join in the mix to create a very full vocal sound that certainly helps lead the …

This is the Canadian band’s third album, and second album for Roadrunner Records, released in 2007 with producer Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Fire up the Blades won me over. The band stated that the album is influenced by low quality beer and bong hits and listening to black metal …
